Damask Looms

The announcement of a Labour free vote on Syria seems to mark appropriately today's seventieth birthday of Hilary Armstrong.

Since the organic Constitution evolved to include Commons votes before military interventions, then it has been inevitable that those would become free votes.

Will the Conservatives also be having one this time? If not, why not?

If Cameron had his own party squared, then no one would care what Labour thought.

There is a vast array of excellent material opposing this war. If you read only one piece of it, then let that be this.

  1. Hilary was there to make even Blair look like an intellectual and we all know who was here to make even Hilary look like an intellectual. They both succeeded.
